Exova’s new Aberdeen lab opens the door to offshore

Exova has opened its first testing laboratory in Aberdeen, Scotland, to service the offshore oil and gas sector. 

Opening as a result of the transfer of Applus RTD’s laboratory facilities in Aberdeen, the UKAS accredited Exova laboratory will provide a range of corrosion, mechanical and metallurgical tests for metals and metal products.

In addition, Exova will take over the running of the Welding School on the same site, which offers an expansive range of services including welding engineering support on welding processes, materials and mechanical testing, NDT, welder testing and third party certification. 

The new Exova Aberdeen Laboratory will work in partnership with the laboratory in Edinburgh which already serves the oil and gas industry with tests for material and welding procedure qualification.

Jason Clark, General Manager Energy & General Engineering Scotland and North East for Exova said: “Although Exova already has a strong presence in the Oil and Gas sector, our research told us that potential clients were looking for a quality based testing provider based in Aberdeen. Our new laboratory allows us to offer customers a local service but with the international resources of Exova”.
